Dive, with us, into exploring the practices, wisdom and magic of water.

Water is essential: often taken for granted until it’s not available, not clean, or there’s too much of it, this workshop reflects back on the fact that we, and all life, are nearly all water. How do we design and manage water - collect and store, move water, keep water clean, and give access to water? What are the unique scientific qualities of water?

Water features in just about every aspect of life - washing, drinking, swimming, cooking and cleaning, as well as in wild places, gardens, forests. It's in our bodies, the air and atmosphere, living systems and the bodies of water on Earth.

We illuminate the mythology and ecopsychology of water too. It’s life, it's magical. Yet - as Ivan Illich says, we’ve flattened water, made it blank, homogeneous, characterless. What are our experiences and feelings about being drawn to water places? What are our collective cultural memories of water? Can we experience, anew, this amazing substance?

This workshop is for you, if:

Water has ever captivated or mystified you.
You crave a deeper, more sacred, connection with the numerous life giving properties of water.
You want to be a caretaker of water.
You want to expand your knowledge and skill in water capture, conservation and cleaning.
You want to be a part of the 'Ripple Effect,' learning and spreading knowledge of positive water practices.

Our futures depend upon water and our relations with water. Please join us for this informative, transformative, stimulating and confronting exploration into all aspects of water.
